Lucas and Luna analyze the European Central Bank's latest monetary policy decisions and their ripple effects across Eurozone sovereign debt markets, corporate borrowing costs, and continental equity indices. Each episode opens with a precise recap of the week's key ECB communications—rate decisions, forward guidance shifts, and inflation projections—then traces how those signals transmit through real-economy channels: German Bund yields, Italian BTP spreads, French CAC 40 sectors, and the euro's trade-weighted exchange rate. The conversation stays grounded in named cases—how a Mittelstand manufacturer finances expansion when the deposit facility rate is at 3.75%, or why a Spanish bank's net interest margin reacts differently to a 25-basis-point hike than a French insurer's solvency ratio. Lucas brings the journalist's instinct for the policy narrative and the numbers behind Frankfurt's statements; Luna presses on the practical implications for asset allocators, export-oriented business

Lettuce Prices Crash as Cyclospora Scares Consumers
Aug 18, 20268 minS4
In this episode of The European Economy Podcast, Lucas and Luna dig into an unexpected market shock: a record-setting plunge in lettuce prices driven by a cyclospora outbreak that has spooked consumers across Europe. They explore how a food-safety scare can ripple through supply chains, futures markets, and even inflation data, and what it tells us about the fragility of modern food logistics. With the eurozone already wrestling with sticky inflation and a slowdown in US growth, the hosts ask whether this lettuce crash is a one-off blip or a sign of deeper vulnerabilities in the continent's agri-food sector. They also tie in the latest US wholesale price data, which came in flat, and the surprising resilience of the euro against the dollar. If you've ever wondered how a parasite can upend an entire commodity market, this episode unpacks the mechanics with clarity and wit. #CyclosporaOutbreak #LettucePrices #EuropeanEconomy #FoodSupplyChain #Inflation #Eurozone #USDollar #WholesalePrices #Agriculture #Commodities #FuturesMarket #ConsumerBehavior #Economics #BusinessPodcast #FexingoBusiness #FexingoPodcast #LucasAndLuna #EuropeanMarkets Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
Why Eurozone Wage Growth Is the ECB's Next Headache
Aug 17, 20267 minS4
In this episode, Lucas and Luna dig into the eurozone's wage-price spiral puzzle. With inflation still sticky and the ECB caught between rate cuts and wage growth, they break down why services inflation is the real battleground. They use the latest data: the eurozone unemployment rate at a record low of 6.3 percent, and the ECB's own forecast of 4.8 percent wage growth this year. They also explore how Germany's labor market—with its short-time work schemes—is keeping wage pressures alive, and what that means for the ECB's next move. If you've ever wondered why your pay rise might actually be keeping prices high, this episode is for you. #EurozoneEconomy #ECB #WageGrowth #Inflation #ServicesInflation #LaborMarket #Germany #MonetaryPolicy #InterestRates #Economics #EuropeanEconomy #Business #Finance #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #EconomicPolicy #WagePriceSpiral #ECBWatching Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
Eurozone exporters are thriving even with a flat euro. In this episode, Lucas and Luna dig into the surprising mechanics behind Europe's export strength, from a weaker dollar and resilient demand in Asia to the underappreciated role of non-eurozone economies like Switzerland. They also explain how the ECB's rate decisions interact with currency markets, why exporters are less worried about tariffs this summer, and what a potential US slowdown could mean for the continent's trade engine. Along the way, they break down the latest trade-weighted dollar index decline and touch on the lettuce price plunge as a quirky inflation signal. Expect a rich, nuanced conversation about the real economy beyond the headlines. #EurozoneExports #ExportEconomy #ECBRates #DollarWeakness #SwitzerlandEconomy #TradeBalance #InflationSticky #LettucePrices #CentralBankPolicy #EuroDollar #GlobalTrade #GermanyExports #FrenchExports #ItalianExports #SpanishExports #Economics #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
In this episode of The European Economy Podcast, Lucas and Luna dig into a puzzle that has the ECB scratching its head: even as the eurozone economy cools and headline inflation drifts down, the prices that matter most to households — services, wages, rent — are refusing to fall. They look at the latest inflation data, the labor market's surprising tightness, and why the ECB's job is getting harder just as markets expect a pause. Along the way they connect the dots to the euro's stubborn strength, the divergence between German and French inflation, and what it all means for your wallet and your portfolio. If you've ever wondered why your haircut keeps getting more expensive while the price of your new phone stays flat, this episode is for you. #EurozoneInflation #ECB #StickyInflation #ServicesInflation #WageGrowth #EurozoneEconomy #MonetaryPolicy #InterestRates #InflationData #LaborMarket #EuroStrength #GermanInflation #FrenchInflation #CentralBank #Economics #BusinessPodcast #FexingoBusiness #EuropeanEconomy Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
Why Eurozone Wage Growth Is the ECB's Next Headache
Aug 14, 202611 minS4
In this episode of The European Economy Podcast, Lucas and Luna unpack the surprising resilience of Eurozone wage growth despite cooling inflation and a softer labor market. Drawing on fresh data from August 2026, they explore why negotiated wages are still climbing at over 4 percent annually, how sectors like logistics and healthcare are driving the trend, and why this complicates the European Central Bank's path to further rate cuts. They also examine the role of tight labor markets in countries like Germany and Spain, where worker shortages are giving unions unusual bargaining power. With a grounded look at real sectors and numbers, Lucas and Luna connect the dots between wage dynamics, services inflation, and the ECB's cautious stance. The episode offers a clear, non-technical explanation of a key economic puzzle: why paychecks keep growing even as the economy slows. #EurozoneWages #ECBPolicy #WageGrowth #Inflation #LaborMarket #EuropeanCentralBank #RateCuts #ServicesInflation #GermanyJobs #SpainEconomy #UnionPower #NegotiatedWages #EurozoneEconomy #Economics #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #MacroEconomics #CentralBanking Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

A talent profile represents one person (founder, executive, or spokesperson) you are booking onto podcasts. It includes their bio, topics, headshots, and outreach history. Team plans include 5 profiles; agency plans are pay-as-you-go.
